AS HEARD ON TV: "Our version of "Sleepy Maggie" is used in "The Black Donnellys" pilot. About 7 minutes into the show there's a bar scene --"Sleepy Maggie" plays throughout the scene.

The tune is a Mad Maggiefied version of a traditional reel.

      Mad Mags asked Wally Sound to let his dub spirit and sensibility run wild. The result is very pleasing! Take a trad hornpipe and add some Jamaican Dub stylings. Call it a tribute to the long history of Irish in the Carribean. 🙂

                        I’m focused on a two-day celebration with my family, beginning on the morn. We’re ignoring everything that’s wrong with the world during those 48 hours. Our personal mental health break. (The fascism fight returns after that.)

                        So I would love to see anything y’all have that brings joy. Jokes, dogs, food, art…anything good. Or just well wishes, even. Please and thank you.

                          This is my 1,000th post. I joined in 2022 after I moved to the Isle of Skye. Since then I have enjoyed the contact with so many of you. You are, without exception, a very interesting group of people. You are spread across the world and your interests, enthusiasms and views are wide and varied. However not so varied as to include any negativity, hatred or bigotry. I am always uplifted by your posts. Thank you all. You bring joy.

Labrador Retrievers are known as friendly, intelligent, and highly energetic dogs. They are a popular breed in the UK, frequently kept as both working dogs and family companions. This breed is recognised for its affectionate nature and strong retrieving instincts.  Brodie requires a high level of exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and active. As do we. He has been my companion in the places on every post I have sent from the Isle of Skye.

                                  1. Painting shelves as part of updating the interior house style a bit. It's been a while since I've had energy for hands on, practical creativity, and it feels good.

                                  2. A cool and quiet morning, before the heat sets in for another day.

                                  3. Coffee. One of life's little pleasures.

                                              While we were originally expectingt his to happen by the end of November, there was a delay due to a change of policy at the Italian government but we hope to bring you good news on this front shortly.

                                                                                                      A weird thing about being 50 is that there are programming languages that I've used regularly for longer than some of the software developers I work with have been alive. I first wrote BASIC code in the 1980s. The first time I wrote an expression evaluator--a fairly standard programming puzzle or homework--was in 1990. I wrote it in Pascal for an undergraduate homework assignment. I first wrote perl in the early 1990s, when it was still perl 4.036 (5.38.2 now). I first wrote java in 1995-ish, when it was still java 1.0 (1.21 now). I first wrote scala, which I still use for most things today, in 2013-ish, when it was still scala 2.8 (3.4.0 now). At various times I've been "fluent" in 8086 assembly, BASIC, C, Pascal, perl, python, java, scala; and passable in LISP/Scheme, Prolog, old school Mathematica, (early days) Objective C, matlab/octave, and R. I've written a few lines of Fortran and more than a few lines of COBOL that I ran in a production system once. I could probably write a bit of Haskell if pressed but for some reason I really dislike its syntax so I've never been enthusiastic about learning it well. I've experimented with Clean, Flix, Curry, Unison, Factor, and Joy and learned bits and pieces of each of those. I'm trying to decide whether I should try learning Idris, Agda, and/or Lean. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a few languages. Bit of 6502 assembly long ago. Bit of Unix/Linux shell scripting languages (old enough to have lived and breathed tcsh before switching to bash; I use fish now mostly).

                                                                                                      When I say passable: in graduate school I wrote a Prolog interpreter in java (including parsing source code or REPL input), within which I could run the classic examples like append or (very simple) symbolic differentiation/integration. As an undergraduate I wrote a Mathematica program to solve the word recognition problem for context-free formal languages. But I'd need some study time to be able to write these languages again.

                                                                                                      I don't know what the hell prompted me to reminisce about programming languages. I hope it doesn't come off as a humblebrag but rather like old guy spinning yarns. I think I've been through so many because I'm never quite happy with any one of them and because I've had a varied career that started when I was pretty young.

                                                                                                      I guess I'm also half hoping to find people on here who have similar interests so I'm going to riddle this post with hashtags:
